The Keeper of the Book by author Ryland Harris gives readers the space for a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between belief, ethics, and personal convictions. Harris has created a world where basic religious freedom is taken away from the people. This forces the characters to confront the difficult questions they have about their values and identities.
Throughout the book we find the protagonist’s relentless quest to rescue his family in this world. The novel also explores the themes of justice, revenge, and the limits of human morality in times of crisis. And while the action sequences are undeniably exciting and fast-paced, it is the underlying philosophical depth in my opinion that truly sets this book apart from others. Whether you approach it as a cautionary tale or a thought exercise on the nature of faith, The Keeper of the Book is an amazing read and I highly recommend it.

The Keeper of the Book
In the year 2043, World Council Edict 1735B proclaimed that all of the world religions were to be outlawed in the interest of public safety. Houses of Worship were labeled centers of dissension and 
attending any underground religious service was punishable by imprisonment and relocation. To possess any religious artifact or Holy Book was a mandatory death sentence. Jenny Keane is a Believer, a Christian and the proud owner of a Holy Bible given to her by her Grandmother. Michael Keane, her husband, is a former Special Forces Operative. He is not a believer in the holy teachings of any religion. Michael gave up the warrior path to live a cherished, peaceful life with his family. Jenny and the children, while attending an illegal religious service are captured by sadistic One World troops and taken to a reeducation camp. This sets Michael out on a one man rescue mission to bring his family home and nothing short of death will stop him. Against impossible odds he walks a path of revenge and destruction with no negotiation, no rules of engagement and no mercy for his foes. He is aided by the unseen prayers of the faithful and years of experience in killing his enemies.
